Mookie Betts’ transition from Gold Glove OF to Gold Glove finalist at SS and Fielding Bible winner as the game’s top SS amazes even his Dodgers teammates.
If he wins the Gold Glove, too, he’d be the second to win as an infielder and outfielder, as Darin Erstad did it at 1B (not SS) and OF, via MLB Network.
The Dodgers have three Hall of Famers in their lineup, but their biggest advantage in this World Series is a rotation of “four No. 1s,” as Jays coach Don Mattingly said.
The Yankees are making a return for Cody Bellinger a priority. But there is work to be done. Bellinger, a free agent for a third time before he turns 30, is coming off an excellent year (and three straight very good ones) and is unencumbered by a qualifying offer. He will be seeking that long deal he’s yet to receive.
